In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Jamal Duncan, a highly respected conductor and educator, to explore the role of competition in music education. As directors, we often face the question of how much competition is right—or even positive—for student growth and program development. Jamal shares his insights on the pros and cons of fostering a competitive mindset within music programs and what it means for students' musical and personal development.
